  When I used another CMS (Weebly) I was able to link to a document in my computer. This was good in 2 senses — I could keep my formatting and I didn’t have to create the doc twice (once in the computer and once in the website). I’m not seeing this as an option in WordPress. Is this correct or am I missing something?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  See here for accepted file types http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/ The following processes are outlined particularly for users who wish to upload a document and add its download link to a blog post or page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

  Embedding documents
  If you want to embed the document itself into a post, then you will have to use a third party application like Scribd or Google Docs.

  Embed From Google Docs

  Awesome!!! I figured it was possible! Thanks so much. As I’m learning, I’m finding that I don’t have the correct terminology for finding what I’m searching for. Thank you so much for your answers!!!
